Should you not also have a /boot partition?  Like I said I have not used
or setup a dual boot system but I would expect you would have the
following:

Windows partition
/boot partition
/   root partition (I am surprised you are using ext2 but not an issue)
and swap partition.

If I remember correctly I think you can have 4 primary partitions with
no problems.  So that should be fine.  You won't need to setup an
extended partition table.
